Activity itinerary

Colmar
  • 4h
First Stop: The Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar Nestled in the heart of the Alsace region in northeastern France, Colmar transforms into a fairytale during the holiday season. With its colorful half-timbered houses, medieval charm, and romantic canals, this town—often called "Little Venice"—hosts one of the most enchanting Christmas markets in Europe. Throughout the festive season, Colmar's cobbled streets glow with twinkling lights, wooden chalets, and the warm scents of mulled wine and gingerbread. The city features six themed markets, each with its own charm, spread across the picturesque Old Town. Visitors can browse artisanal crafts, sample Alsatian treats, enjoy ice skating, or take in the glowing decorations. Don’t miss the Unterlinden Museum, a wine tasting along the Alsace Wine Route, or a hearty meal in a cozy winstub. Colmar at Christmas is more than a market—it’s a magical celebration of Alsatian culture and holiday spirit.
Eguisheim
  • 2h
Next Stop: The Fairytale Christmas of Eguisheim Tucked away on the Alsace Wine Route, Eguisheim is a storybook village known for its circular layout, colorful half-timbered houses, and flower-filled lanes. Often listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages in France,” Eguisheim becomes even more magical during the Christmas. Its small but charming Christmas market, set in the heart of the medieval village, offers an intimate and cozy holiday experience. Wooden stalls sell local crafts, seasonal treats, and festive decorations, all surrounded by centuries-old architecture glowing with lights. Here, tradition takes center stage. The market highlights authenticity and regional craftsmanship, offering a peaceful alternative to larger, busier markets. As you stroll the cobbled streets with a cup of mulled wine, you’ll feel the true spirit of Alsatian Christmas. With its quiet beauty, welcoming locals, and festive ambiance, Eguisheim is a perfect stop for a magical, small-town Christmas.
